A small, low-spray family farm in the far-western Kentucky Purchase region, filling a real geographic gap — but with no dedicated website, no confirmed hours, and no variety list, this is a call-or-Facebook-first visit.
Love Shack Farms is a small, low-spray family farm in Ballard County, near Paducah, in Kentucky’s far-western Jackson Purchase region. It fills a genuine gap in this dataset: the existing Kentucky orchards cluster around the Bluegrass region, Louisville, and Lake Cumberland, with only Reid’s Orchard previously representing the far-western Purchase area. Love Shack Farms offers u-pick apples alongside blackberries, blueberries, peaches, and raspberries — but with no dedicated website, this is a farm where planning ahead means calling or checking Facebook rather than browsing a site.
Unlike most orchards in this dataset, Love Shack Farms doesn’t have a standalone site. The record confirms this explicitly, noting the farm’s Facebook page as the closest thing to an official source. That’s not a red flag by itself — plenty of small family farms run this way — but it does mean the usual planning steps (checking a hours page, a variety list, a pricing page) simply aren’t available here. If you want current information, calling 270-349-1835 or checking the Facebook page directly is the only real option.
The pickyourown.org Western Kentucky listing confirms both u-pick and already-picked apples are available here, alongside blackberries, blueberries, peaches, and raspberries. That breadth suggests a diversified small farm rather than a single-crop apple operation — worth knowing if part of your trip plan includes picking more than just apples.
Third-party write-ups mention concessions like apple cider slushes and caramel apples available on-site, which are pleasant, checkable specifics even though they’re softer confirmations than a formal source. What is confirmed directly in the record is that there’s no cider mill (cider_mill is false) — so if watching cider get pressed is part of what you want, this isn’t the farm for it, even with cider slushes on the menu.
Third-party sources describe the season running roughly from Labor Day weekend through mid-October, which is a reasonable general Kentucky apple-season window, but this wasn’t confirmed by anyone directly reading an orchard-controlled page. Treat that date range as a rough guide rather than something to plan a specific trip around without calling first.
The most solid reason to include Love Shack Farms in a Kentucky apple-picking search is geography: it’s a genuinely different part of the state from every other Kentucky orchard already in this dataset. If you’re near Paducah or the Arkansas/Missouri border area of Kentucky, this is the closest legitimate u-pick option to that corner of the state, even with the information gaps.
The address is 697 Upshaw Rd, Kevil, KY 42053. The coordinates in the record were geocoded from the street address via a public records lookup, not independently verified by the researcher against a map service, so treat them as a reasonable estimate rather than a confirmed pin.
Love Shack Farms is a legitimate, geographically valuable addition to Kentucky’s u-pick options, but it comes with real information gaps — no website, no confirmed hours, no variety list. A phone call or a look at their Facebook page before you drive out is not optional here; it’s the only way to know what’s actually available.
Not stated with confirmed dates. Third-party sources describe the season running roughly Labor Day weekend through mid-October, but that wasn't read directly on an orchard-controlled page, so it's treated as unconfirmed.
You need confirmed hours, pricing, or apple varieties before you go — none are published anywhere the research could find.
No dedicated orchard website exists. The farm's Facebook page (facebook.com/loveshackfarms) is described in the record as the closest thing to an official site.
Yes, per the pickyourown.org Western Kentucky listing, which lists both u-pick and already-picked apples. This farm also grows blackberries, blueberries, peaches, and raspberries.
No cider mill — confirmed false in the record. Third-party write-ups mention concessions like apple cider slushes and caramel apples, but that's a separate detail from an on-site mill.
Not confirmed. The season is described elsewhere as roughly Labor Day weekend through mid-October, but this wasn't read directly on an orchard-controlled page, so it's left null in the record.
The tags describe it as 'Low-Spray,' though no formal certification is mentioned.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. Check with the orchard before driving out.
Pricing was not published when we last checked.
Yes — it's a pick-your-own orchard, with pre-picked apples at the farm stand too.
